We recently sold my mother's condo with Ron Pickard, and once again he did an outstanding job. This…read morewas the second time we've worked with Ron in the past six years, and he continues to impress. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and stress-free. Ron quickly connected us with excellent contractors to paint the condo and clean the carpeting, helping us get it market-ready in no time. His communication is exceptional--he's responsive, proactive, and keeps you informed every step of the way. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy real estate agent who delivers results, I highly recommend Ron.

We recently sold my mother's house and couldn't be happier with Ron and team. Our original plan was…read moreto use one of the big home buying companies that say they handle all costs and close quickly. After a month of that company dragging their feet, we decided to list with Ron. He made the process super easy. As soon as my mother moved out, he arranged to remove anything we left behind. Once he listed the house we had over 15 showings in the first weekend with 5 offers over our asking price. We chose one of those offers and signed the contract within just a few days. Ultimately, we got about 40% more than we would have with the home buying company.

I am highly disappointed with the lack of service and professionalism provided by this agent. As an…read moreestablished business owner of six years making $10,000 to $13,000 a month, I submitted an application and explicitly explained that I am actively working on resolving older credit issues from years ago. I have no criminal record, no pets, and do not smoke.Despite my stable income and excellent rental profile, the agent flatly refused to even present my application to the homeowner simply because my credit score was under 625. She rudely told me, 'No, we can't consider you' and refused to reach out to the homeowner, condescendingly adding, 'but I'm sure you will find a beautiful place.'A professional agent should facilitate communication and present applications to the property owner, letting the owner make the final decision. Refusing to even contact the homeowner while offering patronizing remarks is completely unacceptable. I would not recommend working with this agent

Andrea saved me…read more After owning a condo for 8 years, a deconversion left me with three weeks to find a new place to live. I had no experience leasing an apartment as an adult, so I did my best... I started making calls, sending emails, and trying to get in touch with agents to look at units. After 2.5 weeks, I had heard back from exactly - -zero- - of them. With only a few days left til closing, I still had no place to live, no movers scheduled, and no idea how to fix my situation. I was becoming panicked. I drove to Coldwell Banker hoping an in person request might get me somewhere. I was given a number to call. The voice on the other end couldn't help but laugh at the size of my predicament, and then said: "You need to call Andrea." These words would mark the turning point. Enter Andrea. I called Andrea on a Saturday morning with a Herculean ask: complete an entire apartment hunt, from scratch to move-in, all by Tuesday---in 3 days. Long story short, Andrea did it. She spent an entire weekend driving me around, making calls, schmoozing agents, and pulling strings to make this happen. Why? It was a ton of work for a tiny commission. Was it for her? I truly believe she did it for me. Andrea is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. She has a kind, caring, yet scrappy demeanor, with a gritty determination and great sense of wit. Her warmth and humor put me at ease. She rescued me from an impossible situation. Simply put, Andrea is a special person. I am so grateful to have met her. (And I almost forgot-- the apartment is great!)

She is looking to sell her home and relocate back to Illinois. Her son who lives with her said he had a good friend who was an agent in Illinois, he gave me her name and asked me to reach out to her. My client who owns the home and is the one purchasing was explaining to me what she liked giving me zip codes and locations to check for her. My only intention was to help and Not ask for a referral fee since her son was friends with Andrea. When I reached out to to Andrea and introduced my self letting her know my client ask me to reach out and stay in contact to work together. She became very defensive and rude saying this. I certainly don't have to explain my business procedures to you. I don't care about referral fees. I expect you know as much about Chicago real estate as I know about Texas WOW that hit me like a ton of bricks. I certainly don't treat anyone with that type of disrespect. I only expressed if anything was needed I would be here to help. I know when I have any Chicago referrals they will not be subjected to someone who is rude and not a team player.

They are extremely responsive, friendly, and proactive. We investigated a number of realtors before choosing Sarah Leonard team. We appreciated that Tori was energized, realistic, honest, and very detail oriented. She gave us the confidence that with the right amount of tender loving care that we could sell our place at the price we were hoping for. Also, even a week after we first talked to her, she still remembered our "one burned out light bulb" in the hallway and reminded us to replace it! This level of attention impressed us greatly. They have a network of providers that will do a great job at a reasonable cost for getting your place ready to sell. We used their preferred painter, carpet installer, carpet cleaning, window repair, and moving service. All did great work on schedule and for the right price! To top it off, our closing occurred in the middle of the pandemic when Naperville closed for business and so many other things shut down. They worked as a team, including the attorney which they recommended to us, to navigate around the challenges and we closed on schedule. Could not be happier with my experience!

Ryan Gable from Starting Point Realty was our agent when we were shopping for a house. We're first…read moretime home buyers, and even though we did as much self-learning education we could, he taught us there was always more and more to learn during the home buying process. Even though we had a hard time deciding between single family homes (Detached) and town homes/Condos (Attached), Ryan was always patient with us. He was with us every step of the way with great insights on affordability, explaining how home offers work, even when we decided to switch our search locations! No matter the twists and turns we presented (I'm sorry Ryan!!), Ryan stood by our side the entire process. In fact, he was a mentor for us, who went to essentially EVERY single house we wanted to see, who gave valuable opinions and insights on every home and even the area where the home was located. He checked in with us and made sure we actually loved the house instead of pushing us towards a home to make a quick sale. Ryan is the kind of real estate agent you would want; patient, will educate you during the whole process, and will ensure you're taken care of during the whole process!

We had to sell our condo due to unemployment, it was an emotionally difficult process but Ryan and his team were always supportive and compassionate. Ryan went above and beyond in terms of availability and providing hands on help. This process could have been an absolute nightmare with a lesser realtor, but we always felt safe guided by Ryan's expertise.
